[QUOTE="509322, post: 770713"] wscript is legacy. They're slowly but surely replacing with PowerShell scripts. For example, now network troubleshooter scripts are *.ps1. Rename system.management.automation.dll to system.management.automation.dll_ and all your network troubleshooters don't work - and probably others. I didn't go on a testing expedition to discover all that have been transitioned from .js to .ps1. * * * * * Unfortunately most users do not even know they can create a SUA. The safest thing is just to block them always. I know. I've screwed up before and encrypted my system with script-only ransomware when I wasn't paying attention. If I can manage to mess up a system, then a user who doesn't understand has no chance by themselves. [/QUOTE]
